In this work, we developed fully integrated broadband MMIC chip set employing CSP(Chip Size Package) for K/Ka band applications. By utilizing an ACF for the RF-CSP, the fabrication process for the packaged amplifier MMIC could be simplified and made cost effective. $STO(SrTi_{3})$ capacitors were employed to integrate the DC biasing components on the MMIC, and LC parallel circuits were employed for DC feed and ESD protection. A pre-matching technique and RC parallel circuit were used to achieve a broadband matching and good stability fer the amplifier MMIC in K/Ka band. The amplifier CSP MMIC exhibited good RF performance over a wide frequency range in K/Ka band. This work is the first report of a fully integrated CSP amplifier MMIC successfully operating in the K/Ka band.

In this work, high performance broadband amplifier MMIC including all the matching and biasing components, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit was developed for K/Ka band applications. Therefore, external biasing or matching components were not required for the operation of the MMIC. STO (SrTiO3) capacitors were employed to integrate the DC biasing components on the MMIC, and miniaturized LC parallel ESD protection circuit was integrated on MMIC, which increased ESD breakdown voltage from 10 to 300 V. A pre-matching technique and RC parallel circuit were used for the broadband design of the amplifier MMIC. The amplifier MMIC exhibited good RF performances and good stability in a wide frequency range. The chip size of the MMICs was $1.7{\pm}0.8$ mm2.

광대역 종합 정보 통신망이나 인터넷과 같은 대규모의 망에서 고 품질의 서비스 보장은 점점 더 중요해지고 있다. 비동기식 전송 모드(ATM)는 고 품질의 서비스 보장을 위해 채택된 가장 강력한 기술이다. 위상은 한정된 자원(대역폭)을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 하부의 ATM 망과 Ka 밴드 위성을 연결하여 광범위한 대역폭을 요구하는 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스들을 효과적으로 제공하기 위해서고 품질의 서비스를 보장해 주는 효율적인 동적 자원관리 방법이 절실히 요구된다. 본 논문에서 Ka 밴드 위성 ATM 망에서 고 품질의 서비스를 보장해 주는 효율적인 동적 자원 관리 알고리즘을 새롭게 제안하였다. 제안된 동적 대역폭 제어 알고리즘은 다양한 성능분석을 통해 호 손실률 측면에서 기존의 방법에 비해 훨씬 향상된 성능을 보여준다.

본 논문은 Ka 밴드(26.5GHz-40GHz)를 사용한 양방향 멀티미디어 시스템의 설계에 대해서 다루고 있다. 우선 무궁화 3호 위성을 이용한 시범사업의 구성 및 운영과정에 대해서 개괄하고, 시범운영에서 발견된 문제점을 소개한다. Ka 밴드 양방향 위성 시스템은 MF-TDMA(Multi-Frequency Time Division Multiple Access) 방식을 사용하여 최대 전송속도 2Mbps 이상이고, QOS(Quality of Service) 제공 등 다양한 기능을 갖추고 있으나 Ka 주파수 특성상 그 안정성에 있어서 어려움을 갖고 있다. 강우감쇄 및 전송 지연 등의 현상들을 소개하고 향후 위성 양방향 시스템의 구성과 응용 서비스를 구현할 때 고려해야 할 사항들에 대해 고찰해 보고, 해결방안을 제시하였다.

Measurement accuracy and required time is important to make ATE(Automatic test equipment) system in Ka band, and SCPI commands of power meter which is a representative RF test equipment are studied in this paper. Comparison data between FETCH and MEASURE which are SCPI commands are measured in 30 G ~ 31 GHz and -70 ~ +20 dBm using two power sensor. The data show that FETCH which is the fastest SCPI is able to get reliable data in linear interval above noise level. MEASURE which is the best accurate command takes longer time than FETCH, and the longest time is 13.2 seconds. These results offer that measurement accuracy and required time of the two SCPI for power meter and would be used as a guideline for efficient ATE system in Ka band.

Signal attenuation of Ka-band satellite communication system due to rain fading is more severe than those of conventional frequency band system, thus an efficient rain fade countermeasure technique is absolutely required. In this paper, we design an improved adaptive modulation system, which switches the modulation mode according to the channel condition, and propose the novel synchronization algorithms. We assume that the modulation scheme is M-ary PSK and the receiver is TDMA burst mode. And the transponder model is the same with KOREASAT-3. By using the adaptive modulation scheme, we satisfy the BER and mean spectral efficiency requirements, simultaneously, which is impossible by using the fixed modulation scheme.

This paper presents the design and fabrication of the duplexer for a Ka-band satellite transponder which is analyzed transmission characteristics by calculating the generalized scattering matrix using mode matching method. It is composed of 2 bandpass filters, coupled with H-plane T-junction having symmetrical inductive iris and E-plane metal insert structures. Compared with the size and weight of the Rx and Tx filter loaded with a transponders respectively, those of the duplexer can be effectively reduced. In a high power transmission, the variation of the filter characteristics is minimized by the scheme that irises are extended to the exterior of H-plane of the waveguide. This scheme needs no extra heat sinks for dissipating high power. The duplexer is designed to improve the simplification, durability and reliability by eliminating tuning screws, which have been used to compensate for the characteristics of fabricated filters. The bandpass filters of the duplexer show the insertion loss of less than 1.2 dB and the return loss in excess of 15 dB. The isolations of more than 65 dB have been achieved between Rx and Tx filter.

We discuss the design of a radiometer using a millimeterwave(Ka-band) seeker. We applied a total power radiometer, thus the radiometer is composed of a IF-drive amp, band-pass filter, detector and an Op-amp additionally. As a radiometer measure a radiated signal of an object which is noise-like, a radiometer is easily affected by the variance of system temperature. To mitigate an adverse effect, we propose a compensation method in a radiometer without brightmess temperature compensation circuits. Through some experiments such like a distinction a target and the background, we have verified that the designed radiometer system has distingushed a car from the ground completely.

Magnetic and Ka-band absorbing properties have been investigated in Ti-Co substituted M-type barium hexaferrites with $BaTi_{0.5}Co_{0.5}Fe_{11}O_{19}$ composition. The ferrite powders were prepared by conventional ceramic processing technique and used as absorbent fillers in ferrite-rubber composites. The magnetic properties were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer. The complex permeability and dielectric constant were measured by using the WR-28 rectangular waveguide and network analyzer in the frequency range 26.5~40 GHz. For the Ti-Co substituted M-hexaferrites, the ferromagnetic resonance is observed at Ka-band (29.4 GHz). The matching frequency and matching thickness are determined by using the solution map of impedance matching. A wide band microwave absorbance is predicted with controlled ferrite volume fraction and absorber thickness.
